I started a renovation of a 1968 88 Inch Series 2A. The car has been standing in my fathers barn for 40 years and now it´s time for wake up!
The project has been ongoing since last summer and I thought I should share the progress.

To be able to work I needed to free some space up at my fathers farm 10km from home.

Late August 2019, finally the engine released from its “grip”. I poured small amount of diesel at engine top since the cylinder head was not mounted on the engine.

It’s relatively easy to release the engine from chassis when the car is stripped, but surprisingly heavy gearbox + engine.

Since the aim is to take everything apart I remove the axels also

Looking for spare parts and found these beauty’s, but I realized it would be to much work with these.

I made the decision to replace half rear of the frame, now it’s time to construct a jig and weld the parts together!

And when you have pure uncoated metal you need to paint!
